Sundays
We’re always excited when Sunday comes around at Camp Deerhorn. Six days a week we have our regular schedule of activities, but Sundays are a little different. Most of the excitement about Sundays comes from the announcement at Saturday’s dinner that we get to sleep in an extra hour Sunday morning! (Though there are many […]
Activities and Waterparks
Last night, kids were divided up into 12 teams for the 4th of July relays. Everyone had a blast and really enjoyed the fireworks last night. You can check out pictures from last night’s relay on our Shutterfly site. Today dawned sunny and breezy and after a pancake breakfast, it was back to activities. The […]
Happy 4th of July!
We are enjoying the most beautiful weather at Deerhorn today. The skies are blue, the sun is shining, and the breeze off the lake is amazing…it’s the perfect Northwoods afternoon. Activities are in full swing. Kids are learning about the safety, rules, and expectations in each activity and then they are getting right into the […]
It’s Good to See You Again
We love B session. It marks the beginning of our five week leadership programs for our 15 year old Voyagers and Pioneers. That means that we get to see 25 faces of boys we’ve known for years. We’ve watched them grow up and become fantastic young men who we’re proud to call part of the […]
A Session Awards Breakfast & Changeover
We ended our A session this morning with our usual awards breakfast of waffles & sausage. We recognized all first time skiers, slalomers, and wakeboarders. The top shooters in riflery were awarded medals: Braden Smyth for juniors, Liam Jones for intermediates, and Logan Persson for seniors. Tennis tournament trophies were given to Harrison Mullin for […]
The Last Day
It’s hard to believe the end of A session is here already. Kids spent the morning in regular activities, trying to earn those final requirements for stars. After a lunch of meatball subs, campers spent rest hour packing up and cleaning their koogees. We have 41 kids who are staying for B session, but they […]
Koogee Fun
Last night’s campfire was spectacular once again. We have so many fantastic guitar players, and it’s been fun to watch them grow up at campfires…going from shy 10 year olds who were just learning to play guitar because they admired those older counselors who did, and seeing them now as 19 year old counselors whose […]
Treasure Hunt
Today was the first big Sunday event of the summer and it was the Treasure Hunt. Teams worked together to gather clues all over camp, with their leader finally finding a “treasure map” that led them to buried treasure on the beach. Kids had a blast and the sun shone all day! The Iroquois were […]
Proof
“If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?” If a camper has a blast at camp, and no picture is taken of it, did he still have tons of fun? The answer, of course, is yes. We understand that it is tough, as […]
Explorers
Our Explorer Trip left this morning after breakfast, with 9 kids and 2 leaders. They were really excited to be on their way, heading for a 3 day kayaking adventure. They will kayak and camp in the Turtle Flambeau Flowage, which is about a 90 minute drive from camp. Their camping menu includes chili, pesto […]
